Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast.
It's thanks to McCafe, great barista made coffee on the go.
285 bikes, 2 baths, 950 power tools, 10 generators, 8 concrete cutters, 10 infinity gas heaters.
He does 695 new and packaged tapware and mixers
This is a shit 12 days of Christmas
It just sounds like you're reading out
What's in a Mitre 10 or a Bunnings
46 Fujitsu heat pumps
Fujitsu
Fujitsu
33 laptops, 8 computers, 132 household appliances
And whiteware
27 e-scooters and much much more
Was all displayed
In a warehouse
when the police said,
this is what we've recovered as part of Operation Trump.
Trump?
Yeah, I don't think like Donald Trump.
Oh, no, Operation Trump card.
Trump card.
Card was on the next line.
I just saw Operation Trump.
See, this has been, what, they've broken a ring of theft.
Yeah, yeah, they have.
Right.
Seized from residential properties in 15 commercial storage units.
Wow.
Wow.
Those cheeky fucks.
I saw a thing on Reddit in New Zealand recently.
There was like, there seems to be a lot of brand new Michael Hill jewelry for sale on Facebook Marketplace lately.
Yeah.
Correlation's been drawn for the fact that there's so much. Michael Hulls were really targeted with smashing crabs.
It's not the smartest move, is it?
Immediately after robbing them to put it online for sales.
So then I searched on Facebook Marketplace.
I was tuned for a second for the fact somebody thought I might have, you know, been a thief.
But then a lot of them just look like burner accounts.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, right.
Like nonsense profile pictures.
Post it from a public library. Yeah. it's where you do all your face is that where you do all of your illegal posting because i just do
small stuff like just robs like clothing stores and stuff right yeah i just sell it okay yeah
right still on yeah account number account name hayley spr So if you get proposed to, anybody listening,
if you're proposed to, your partner gets down on one knee,
opens up the ring box, and there's a little bit of glass fragment in there.
Yeah.
I'd have a couple of questions.
Yeah, smash and grab.
A couple of questions about that.
And all the bikes?
They've just put up this photo, and they're like,
oh, any of these are your bikes?
Look at that.
I would roughly estimate 100.
Oh, my God. Oh my God.
Jesus Christ.
Do you remember when my bike
got stolen for the second time?
Yes.
Where did it get stolen from?
Like outside the pool
at Newmarket.
Oh.
And then there was
a video released
of a guy
and he'd just walk up
literally in seconds
with bolt cutters
because it was just
a wire bike lock
and it was gone
in the back of the van
driven away. And that happened to me twice and then I got a bike lock. Yeah. And it was gone in the back of the van. Like butter. Driven away.
And that happened to me twice.
And then I got a bike lock that you literally have to
need one of the jaws of life to get through it.
Wow.
But yeah.
It's rated as also the same lock you could use
to lock up your Cessna, right?
Yeah.
So you pop this through a wheel of a Cessna
and the wheel won't be able to go around
so they won't be able to take off.
It's got a, like in the EU and I think in the US,
the lock comes with insurance.
Like if your bike's worth up to, and it's stolen, they'll pay you because it just won't be.
Wow.
But you never use, if you've got a bike in this kind of, you know, time where people are stealing so much,
never use, well, you know, the combination locks with the wire?
Yes.
They're just useless.
Always get a D-lock.
Get a D-lock, a hard lock, because they're not easy to cut through.
I use baling twine and just make a really complicated knot.
They'll be like, I'll just undo the knot,
but then there's a couple of tricky bits to the knot,
and then they can't undo it.
It actually might be quite funny just to completely intertwine your tires
and frame and rope and twine.
Also, baling twine's a real bastard to cut with like bolt cutters.
It would just kind of like they slip around it.
Yeah.
You need like a sharp knife or a pair of tight scissors like mum's sewing scissors.
Yes.
But if you're borrowing your mum's sewing scissors to go out stealing bikes tied up with baling twine,
you're going to get a kick in the ass.
She'll give you a hiding.
You are going to get such a kick in the ass.
Did your mum ever have those and they made a zigzag pattern?
Yes.
Zigzag scissors.
How cool were those?
We didn't have those.
Oh, poor.
I know.
We just had those real heavy.
Nice ones.
Real sharp, real tight scissors.
Yeah.
And if mum caught you cutting cardboard with those.
Oh, you're in trouble.
Your arse would burn.
Get in a slapper.
What were the zigzag scissors for?
Paper, like crafts.
Oh, we had the cheap plastic ones,
but I'm sure there were some sewing ones like that as well for cutting.
If you cut a hem and it won't fray.
Yes.
In a zigzag, it won't fray.
Oh, okay.
So if you cut like ribbon or hem or something in a zigzag.
Right.
What do you call it?
Sewing a hem on it, eh?
Hem, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You could just cut it and it would reduce fraying.
Zigzag, zigzag. I'm going to the crafts corner here
On the podcast
We should do crafts
Let's not go out tonight
We should do
Let's do crafts
Have we ever done the phone
Of what weren't you allowed to touch?
As a kid
That'd be brilliant
That'd be so nice
Because ours was always
A sewing scissors
Does your mum have a cabinet of shit?
Like plates and
Oh yeah
Full of crap
It's still there
It's still there
And you know what
My kids are allowed to play with them.
They're allowed to get at the Mickey Mouse.
Mickey Mouse standing at the orchestra, like conducting an orchestra.
And you wind them up and it goes ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
We were never allowed to play with it.
Unbelievable.
I wasn't allowed to touch myself because I do it in public too often.
Yeah, yeah.
We were told not to.
So my mum would be like, Hayley, get your hands off.
For God's sake.
Okay, we'll leave that there then.
Play ZM's Fletch, Fawn and Hayley.
Thank you, Sam.
Good morning.
Welcome to the show, Fletch, Fawn and Hayley.
Well, we're all here.
So we're not the person who is on reality TV who's got name suppression.
He he he.
Funnest game of the day.
Yeah.
They nearly killed a police officer.
They're in big, big, big trouble.
Yes.
Although it's always like this in the news.
They're like, name suppression.
It's a famous singer.
And you're like, and it's not.
And it's not.
It's just someone that does karaoke at the local Raza.
Yeah.
So this is a little behind the curtains.
Every time there's name suppression, I've got some contacts.
Yep.
Because I like to know if my own...
We sit too.
So you're basically saying this is how I skirt the law.
No, no, no.
I was going to say it's always someone you've never heard of.
Oh, 100%.
Because lawyers know now they can get name suppression by saying,
well, actually, this person has a profile and this could destroy their career.
This could destroy their future prospects.
They haven't worked for the last 15 years in the industry.
It could destroy their...
They had some stuff on the horizon.
Sure, they've done something wrong,
but they will pay the ultimate price of never being able to work again.
They're seven years old, right?
Yeah.
It's got to be short list.
Again, we can't speculate.
It's against the law.
Okay.
But a lot of the time when it's like New Zealand,
well-known New Zealand, it's not.
It's someone you will never, ever know.
Well, your thoughts out to the police officer.
Yeah, totally.
And the family there.
That's horrible.
Hell yeah.
Right.
I saw a police officer patting his dog yesterday
God they both looked happy
I'd be happy too
if I had a dog
That's gotta be that
I reckon I'd be
canine unit
No you wouldn't
That'd be cute
Why wouldn't I be
canine unit?
What would I be?
If I was a member
of the New Zealand police
You would be
reception
You'd be behind
the big plate glass window
I'm on reception
because I got taken
off the beat
because I don't take no shit I slammed some dude's head against plate glass window I'm on reception because I got taken off the beat because I don't take no shit
I slammed some dude's head
against his car
Yeah
I'm on
And that was the last straw too
Yep
You're on test Judy Smith
Don't you try anything more
They always put them
in a lot of property
in the
in the storage unit
Don't put me in there
That's where they put them
Don't put me in there
On the movies and TV shows
You know I'm a nosy parker
You'll I will go nosy parker.
We'll go through every piece of evidence and I'll be like
Yep, that's what that is.
Let's get some work done!
And then one
day I'm in there sorting out
drugs and the like and the sergeant comes in
and he's like, Smith, we're a man down and we need you
back on the force. And that's the day I
am.
Let's go.
And you crack a case.
Yeah.
Blow it wide open.
Save some hostages.
Yeah.
Blow up a building.
Good stuff.
Maybe it is time they brought back Lethal Weapon movies.
Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, any of those classics.
Have I ever told you that Aaron got into police college?
Yes.
Yeah.
He'd be a great policeman.
Also because he's so intimidatingly
tall. Soft
boy. Wouldn't mess around with him. He'd be hard of
gold. And he's, you know.
But he, when he did the
police test, you've got to do the physical right and you run and
you climb a wall and do this thing.
And there's one where he had to get into a house through a
window and he was so tall he couldn't fold through the
window so he just ran at it and dove.
Oh my dude, did he get all the way through?
Yeah.
Like he was diving off a board.
He would have been a great policeman.
Yeah.
But look, he got into drama school at the same time.
He had to drag six foot eight
and even taller if he had his arms extended out in front of him
horizontally through a window.
Yeah, and his only way
because he was like
I'll lose my time
if I stop and try to
ball myself up
to get through this
tiny little window.
Impossible to get through.
I just can't get through a window.
I don't know how he would.
Dive through.
Wow.
How did he land on the other side?
Did he roll?
I don't think it was
this cool movie.
Yeah, he just put himself up.
All right.
Coming up on the show today about about 7.30 this morning,
your last chance to get in the draw thanks to American Airlines
to get to the US of A, listen out for our boarding call.
When do we draw that?
Today.
We'll do that later before the show finishes.
So your last chance around 7.30 this morning.
Do we get to go with them?
No.
Go.
I mean, you could ask. They do get a plus
one. It's for two.
I'm a good travel buddy.
The top six is coming up.
Yeah, open banking.
You guys heard about this? This is the term that's been thrown around
with banks recording record profits across the
line. It's just
basically like, oh, remember if you've ever swapped
phones?
Phone networks. Yeah. And you were like, hey,
back in the day, Spark, I'd like to
come, but I've got this Vodafone number
everybody knows. And then one day they were like,
yeah, you can bring that with you. Yeah, that's right.
Your 021s didn't matter. No, yeah.
021 was exclusively Vodafone and then it changed
and you can go around. Basically that,
but with banking, meaning you can keep all your
bank accounts, nothing's going to change, like with
automatic payments, but you'll have a different bank accounts. Nothing's going to change, like, with automatic payments,
but you'll have a different banking provider.
It's called open banking.
It's in other countries and apparently adds competition to it.
It doesn't make it cheaper, does it?
Yeah.
Oh, good.
I'll get the top six ways, approaches to open banking.
All right.
It's coming up on the show along with Scylla Little Pole.
How do we feel about online shopping or in-store?
Which one do you prefer? Next on the show along with Scylla Little Pole. How do we feel about online shopping or in-store? Which one do you prefer?
Next on the show, though.
A New Zealand brand has said,
get out of there, get out of there.
When someone was going through their trash.
Is that fair enough?
Not really.
The circumstances around it make them love it.
That makes it sound like there's a little scampi dog
trying to eat some leftover scraps.
It's a clothing brand who didn't want their stuff in sickness.
Journey to health.
I'm trying to increase my cardiovascular fitness.
Yeah.
You're doing very well.
I like cardio.
You're going to tell people.
I get bogged down in the number, but it's just a measurement thing,
and I don't think everybody should measure their journey to health.
As we've spoken recently, the numbers, they're different for everybody.
Yeah, but you're doing very well with your goals.
Yes.
You're hot.
My goals.
I appreciate it.
Thank you very much.
You're hot.
I'll say it, and I'm only going to say it once.
Hotter show on radio.
Oh, my God. Find. Hotter show on radio. Oh my God.
Find a better looking
show on radio.
Do you think for next year
for our promo photo
at the beach?
Topless.
Yeah.
Topless.
All three of us.
That might be a bit too far.
We need to get some listeners.
All three of us,
shirts off.
I mean,
we've got a bit of everything.
Little nips,
big nips.
Oh yeah,
no,
I...
Medium nips. Like Goldilocks is going to walk in and be like, the nips. Oh, yeah. Medium nips.
Goldilocks is going to walk in and be like,
the nipple choice here, I can't fault.
Please do not.
Oh, my God.
We can't do a topless promo shot with my tiny nips.
Oh, not with my massive discs.
Not with her, buddy.
Lunch and slices.
That's a hey.
There's a nip out there for everybody.
All nips are beautiful nips.
I've been putting plasters on are beautiful nips I've been
I've been putting
Plasters on my nips
I've been through
A whole pack of plasters
Because I just get
Yeah I
You need to get
A better gym shirt
No
It's all
It's just the friction
I'm a runner
I'm running baby
I'm running
What about your silk
Silk shirt at the gym
That could work
Well it was during
My cardiovascular exercise
or cardio
yesterday
that it happened.
It's the first time
I've been to the gym
where it's been a full rack
on the treadmills.
Usually there's like
a treadmill between.
Summer's coming.
I went at a different time
of the day as well.
Okay.
Usually when I go,
it's quite quiet.
It's nice.
You get your pick
of the machines and such
but there was one
so I like got on this machine,
and the girls on the machine beside me, they were going hard.
And I like that when people do that because it encourages me.
I don't want to be the slowest person on the rack.
Yeah, so you go faster.
So I go hard.
And I was doing this thing where I was running at 12.5 k's an hour
on the treadmill.
And then every last minute of a five-minute block,
I'd just crank it and sprint for a minute.
Yeah, right.
Okay, good.
Yeah, I was doing that.
So in the last one, the last minute, I got up to 20 k's an hour.
Woo-hoo.
And I was –
He's got some pins on him, the old chicken legs.
The old chicken legs, man.
I'm the roadrunner.
He had skinny little legs, but he was top-heavy, just, man. I'm the roadrunner. He had skinny little legs, but he was top heavy, just like me.
You are the roadrunner.
I am the roadrunner.
Mind you, the coyote had some skinny legs on him too,
but a skinny upper torso because he never got to eat that roadrunner.
Yeah.
He was running on fumes.
It would be quite funny to see an anvil drop on you on the treadmill.
Yeah, it would be, or a piano, a grand piano.
Or someone on the treadmill beside him who was riding a rocket.
Yes. But for some reason, beside me was riding a rocket. Yes.
But for some reason, the rocket wasn't moving forward,
even though it's not at all dependent on the treadmill.
Anyway, afterwards, as I finished, my show finished as well.
Oh, because you watch shows on YouTube.
I watch shows.
So I had the headphones on, but no noise in it.
And the girls that were beside me had finished just before me,
and I heard them say that he was going quite fast for an old guy.
One.
How old were they?
They were young.
Yeah, right.
But you're pretty young.
But you know when you're a teenager
or you think like 40 is old
and then you get here and you're like,
oh my gosh, I was wrong.
40 is not old.
But then everybody, no, they've lived that.
They're not there yet.
That's a, what do you call it?
A something compliment?
An unhanded compliment?
A backhanded compliment?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I want to take my headphones.
He was going pretty fast. Yeah, why don't you take your headphones out? For backhanded compliment? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to take my headphones. He was going pretty fast.
Yeah, why don't you take your headphones out?
For an old guy.
Yeah.
Why don't you take your headphones out and say,
how old do you think I am?
I don't want to know.
Because what if I'm like, how old are you out of interest?
How old do you think I am?
A, creepy thing to ask.
I don't want to.
I don't talk to anybody at the gym.
I don't talk to anybody at the gym.
Hey, girls.
I'm in a singlet and I'm sweaty.
Yeah. That's two out of the five worst things you can be as an older guy talking to anybody.
You just called yourself an older guy.
An older guy, not an old guy.
I don't talk to anybody.
I just keep my eyes straight ahead of me.
The worst is when you're on a machine and someone starts to squat in front of you
and you're like, I've got to get off this machine now.
Yeah.
Doing the dead ease in front of you.
What are those ones? in front of you and you're like, I've got to get off this machine now. Yeah. Doing the dead ease in front of you. Alright,
what are those ones?
When you send your hips back
and you bend forward
with a big heavy bar.
The worst one is the thrust.
If someone's anywhere
within the vicinity of you
and they start doing the thrust
and you're like,
I've got to get out.
I can't be looking at this.
I can't look at this.
But if I look away,
it's obvious that I was looking
at some stage.
Get me out of here.
Oh, don't do that.
You can't do that. I always do that when I get a little panic in the gym. at some stage get me out of here. Don't do that. You can't do that.
I always do that when I get a little panic in the trim. I go, get me out of here.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
I probably only need to say the word
mamoa.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It is so nice when I open up my work laptop
and there is a picture of Jason Mamoa staring
me in the eyes eating a carrot.
That's my new desktop background and I'm not mad.
We've been really spoiled for Momoa news lately.
He was in Aotearoa, what was that, about a month ago?
Yeah, he certainly was.
But he's coming back though because he was scouting out locations and whatnot.
Yeah.
He's going to be like in my neighbourhood.
He's going to be like kilometres, just a kilometer away from your house.
Aaron got an audition for the project he's working on.
He was like, oh, I think I'm going to be a bit busy with the house.
And I was like, you get in there.
Because you look at each other in the eye.
Man to man.
Big boy to big boy.
Couple of big boys.
Come friends.
Go have a beer at our local brewery.
I'll happen upon them.
Yeah.
And we'll just see what they do with me.
I can't.
Look at you.
Look how giddy you are.
Well, you can imagine the surprise yesterday
when his appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel late night talk show happened.
Jimmy Kimmel had him on talking about a project.
That's why everyone goes on to a talk show.
He was wearing some like purple satin pajamas and a pink velvet coat.
He'd just been at the premiere of Slumberland.
And that's what he wore at the premiere.
Oh, that's the one with the horns.
He's got the curly horns.
That looks interesting.
Like how is having,
like, are they called rams?
Are they like rams horns?
How does it make them hotter?
Hold, yeah, handlebars.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Yeah.
So that was when
Jimmy Kimmel says to him
recently,
you were fishing
and you were just wearing
the traditional Hawaiian malo.
Which is like a loincloth.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And, well, he took his clothes off and he was wearing it then as well.
He pretty much stripped down to it.
He stripped on a talk show.
To like a loincloth at the front and just straight male G at the back.
Yeah.
I know, I'm looking at it.
I couldn't believe he got away with that much bum for American Late Night
because he's so, like, they bleep every word.
They're so conservative, they bleep all the service.
And those shows aren't on until like 11.30.
I know.
It's insane how late.
They tape at 6 or whatever and then get broadcast at 11.30, 12.
For the old horndog Sproul, straight in the DMs.
Our lovely loyal listeners, I thank you because this wasn't on my radar.
I was busy yesterday and then all of you were messaging me being like,
Sproul, wrap your eyes around this.
This is your thing now.
So I get sent Highland Cowls, a lot of Highland Cowl content.
You get cat stuff.
I get a lot of cat stuff. Especially like British Blue yeah. You get cat stuff. I get a lot of cat stuff.
Especially like British blue stuff.
You also get like white M&Ms.
Yep, yep.
People get to know your little interest points.
Yeah, I love that.
And then yours is Marmora content.
Yeah.
You'll never be short of Marmora content in your inbox.
Yeah.
Ooh, daddy.
I mean, it's an absolute treat.
And the thing I love about it is he's so playful.
Like he's not trying to.
Yeah.
No, he's not serious.
I mean, he knows what he's doing as well, but he's being silly.
Yeah, he's a silly boy.
We'd just be silly together.
We'd just be silly.
Oh, my God.
We'd just get together.
We'd just be like silly times.
Just being silly.
Do you need a moment?
But also like, because he says, I mean, we need to let him know, one, I'm Maori.
Because he said he really connects with the Maori people of New Zealand.
That's me.
Okay.
And two, 1% Hawaiian as well.
Yeah, from theancestry.com.
Okay, and your fiancé, he's just going to have to be good with this.
Well, we've got a function tonight.
We've been, I don't know how this happened.
Cordially invited.
Yeah.
Formally invited.
I was going to say guilt tripped into going.
Because it's a fundraiser, isn't it?
We're here to support.
Yeah, we're here to support.
What are we supporting?
I don't know.
Something at my kid's school.
Yeah, right.
What are they fundraising for?
A library or something.
Why doesn't the government give them a library?
Ah, but times are tough, mate.
Okay.
So we're going tonight to a quiz night and you're hosting it.
Correct.
Is that why we're going?
Because the numbers are low?
Look, they have moved locations because the tables didn't sell quite as well as they perhaps would.
Okay, so we're table fillers.
I mean, we could, like, talking about it now,
if we filled out another five tables, maybe we could move back.
Go back to the original venue.
To the community hall.
Yeah, right.
It's a beautiful building.
Building in the 80s.
Now we're at the school, are we?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
We're at the school.
We're on hand.
This is a good thing.
This is a BYO booze night.
This is a BYO. Dangerous. So you don't
have to like pay for drinks there. It's BYO
and BYO snacks as well. These things
get rowdy, don't they? Oh, the parents
get pretty cock-eyed.
So you're hosting. It's a
quiz. Yes. Is it a
what are they called? The usual
quizzes? No, it's like made.
No, it's to keep costs down.
You have to buy those.
It's made.
Okay.
It's a slideshow.
Oh.
Have you done this?
No, no, no.
I haven't done it.
You're just emceeing.
Yes, correct.
Do you know what tickled me?
I was like, I love a quiz.
This will be fun.
We can have some drinks, sit around, you know.
Yeah.
Maybe a bit of heckling.
Oh, nice.
Towards our mate, Vaughn.
But then in our group quiz bays, which is the group,
the table that we've all brought together,
your wife shared that there's an auction.
Yeah, there's auction.
This is where I thrive.
Because I've run many of these quizzes before for marching, right?
Like these fundraisers.
And the auctions always pop off.
Yeah.
And that's where you could do the BYO
because everyone gets all loose, open wallets.
Right.
And then you've committed accidentally
to $1,000 or something.
Was it, it might have been at this last year
or the year before.
No, I'm assuming the year before.
My wife.
Mawa.
Mawa.
Got a little bit proseccoed, shall we say.
Oh, yes.
And purchased a membership for the girls to join the motorway surf club
to go and do the running on the beach and stuff.
I was like, all right, cool.
When are we doing that?
She's like, oh, just for the goggles.
As somebody that grew up around surf club people at school,
you don't want them joining the surf club.
No, they don't.
I mean, not at primary school age. Oh, yeah, the high school age surf, want them joining the surf club. No, they don't know. I mean, not at primary school age.
Oh, yeah, the high school age, the kids in the surf club.
They'll find marijuana.
As a teenager.
And the boys weren't ever wearing clothes.
They were always running around.
They'll be half nude smoking marijuana before you know it.
Underneath those big boats that they paddle into the waves.
They go around the corner and they come back and they do stick chases in the sand.
Well, I've already had a look at these.
Can I read some of the packages?
Knock yourself out.
There's, this tickled me, Summer Outdoors Pack.
You get a Weber.
Hunting and Fishing Vouchers.
That's a bit of you, Fletch.
Or there's the Great Spring Clean.
This could be good.
There's a Garden Cleanup and an Interior House Clean. Valued at $800. This could be good. A garden clean-up and an interior house clean.
Value to $800.
That's a good clean.
Oh, a family or girls weekend away.
Two nights in Omaha.
I want it.
Oh, she's going to look at this.
She's going to be bidding later.
She's going to get boozed and competitive and bidding.
Join us on Monday's show when Hayley regrets spending money
on an auction she can't afford.
I think tonight I'm going to get a little Prosecco'd.
Hi there.
Today's top six, dealing with open banking, which makes great sense.
Didn't know it was a thing.
Other countries have had it for ages.
Adds a bit more competition to the banking sector, which I don't know if you guys have
been following the news.
I don't know if you guys listening have heard, but banks are making billions of dollars.
Yeah, they're making bajillions, aren't they?
Yeah.
It's crazy.
Off us.
So it means that they'd share information easier.
Yes.
It means if you were like refixing your mortgage or getting a loan,
the banks could just request the info
so you wouldn't have to give them
the last three pay slips.
Have you ever had to do that?
Yes.
What annoys me is they ask for the last three pay slips
for an account that is with their bank.
Or they ask for your last three months of statement
that are with your bank.
Yeah, they're like, hi, we're the BNZ.
I'm like, yeah, I know you're the BNZ,
you're my bank.
They are my bank.
I'm using my actual bank.
Yeah.
And they're like,
oh yeah, okay,
well if you want that,
we're going to need
three months of bank statements.
I'm like,
they're your statements.
Look them up.
Like,
you go into the system.
We're going to print them out.
If I call you,
you can get in there
and see what things are.
I know.
Ring me for permission,
I'll put them in my pin,
you get them.
But it'll mean more competition,
which means banks
will have to offer
you, like, treaties to stay.
Your little treats. Like, sweeteners
and maybe lower fees, which is
all good. When you said treaties, I was like, I don't think you sign
a treaty. Yeah, treaties.
They're like, stay, we'll give you some blankets.
Yeah. And some guns.
And some muskets. But it's gonna cost you.
What? How much? What did I say?
But they got bed bugs in them.
Well, I have the top six rules
for successful
open banking relationships.
Okay.
Because that's the other thing.
You've got to know the rules.
Number six is a great example of this.
Set boundaries.
Yeah.
One of the first rules
of open banking relationships
is you should agree on,
as a customer,
what types of deposits
are okay to make
with other banks
and what you consider
to be out of bounds.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you don't want
the other bank
getting jealous.
Bingo.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And you come home
and it's like
can smell BNZ on you.
Yeah.
You absolutely
reek of Westpac.
You stink
of first home
by a Kiwi bank.
Number five on the list of the top six rules to a successful open
banking relationship
Figure out how much time you'll
spend with other banks
Don't forget
your original bank while out there
trying it on with different banks
Make an agreed timetable
Maybe Wednesday night Westpac
It makes sense, W-W.
Westpac Wednesday.
Yeah, Westpac Wednesday.
Annual ANZ.
Shit, that is not what I thought.
No.
For a split second.
I was like, man, she really doesn't want this job.
Number four on the list of the top six rules
to a successful open banking relationship.
Decide how you'll talk about your other banks with your other banks.
Yeah.
You know, decide do they want to know everything about what happens when the BNZ opens its vault to you.
Especially if it's way hotter than you.
Yeah, bigger vault.
Yeah, bigger vault.
It's got a big old, big old vault.
Number three on the list of the top six rules
to a successful open banking relationship.
Don't flaunt gifts from one bank to another bank.
Don't bring your BNZ pen in here.
This is where cash in the elephant ASB piggy bank is.
Yeah.
You know what happened last time
when you bought in the Westpac helicopter piggy bank.
I know.
You got real jealous, didn't you?
Yeah, it was big trouble.
Big trouble.
Number two on the list of the top six rules
to successful open banking relationships.
Safe banking is a must.
Yeah.
Different passwords for each account and use a condom.
Yeah.
Sorry?
Pardon me?
Where would you...
Just...
Financially.
To deposit.
It's like you put the money in there.
Could do.
Could do.
Hold a few coins.
You know, there's little envelopes.
Because I've heard banking co-ops don't even want to use a Connie.
Really?
Yeah.
They said it feels better for them.
Well, I don't care.
Yeah.
I don't care how it feels.
Safe.
Safe banking.
Yeah.
Always.
Got to have it safe.
I'm not having you make a deposit and then, you know, there's a term deposit and then at the end of it, I'm stuck with the banking. Yeah. Always. Gotta have it safe. I'm not having you make a deposit and then, you know, there's a term deposit
and then at the end of it,
I'm stuck with the interest.
Yeah.
Yeah, oh God, no.
I'm stuck with it.
Number one on the list
of the top six rules
to a successful
open banking relationship.
Remember to keep
a little cash under your mattress.
Okay.
Yeah.
You know, just keep
some in the wallet.
Keep some in the bedside drawer.
Look after yourself. Pleasure oneself. Yeah, in the wallet. Keep some in the bedside drawer. Look after yourself.
Pleasure oneself.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
This is a playing with yourself metaphor, but I feel like it didn't stick.
It didn't work.
It didn't hit.
Yeah, I like it.
It didn't hit.
Remember who you're doing this for.
Keep a little at home.
Yeah.
Five out of six ain't bad.
That is, that's today's Subsex.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn
and Hayley.
Two days away
from Friday Jams Live.
Some horrible weather
today around
Western Springs
but the weather
for Sunday
is looking amazing.
There's no precipitation.
The Gen Zers
in the office
have been manifesting
good weather.
Yeah,
a lot of people
doing dances
and I think
some thoughts
and prayers
were out there.
They did a bit of manifesting this week, did they?
They did.
Yeah.
And I think it's going to work.
Shame none of them did their bloody job.
All this manifesting is really heading into productivity.
What time does it start?
3.30.
3.30, right?
Well, gates open at 3.30.
Yeah, so if you go to the Facebook or the Instagram pages, the lineups are out.
3 o'clock, it's going to be 24 degrees and sunny.
Good stuff.
Sunscreen.
Sunscreen.
Slop slap.
Sunscreen up.
All the details at ZM Online that you need for the day,
what time gates open, all the FAQs.
The lineup times are out as well.
Yeah, it's all online.
And you can get tickets at the gate as well.
So if you've got friends that want to come,
just buy tickets at the gate.
Otherwise, Ticketmaster.
Also, if you see us and you want to get a photo or give us a hug,
can you make sure you don't have COVID?
Because the last concert I went to was the Wiggles
and a fan of the show came up and gave me a COVID.
Hayley will need to see a rat, a clear rat before any photos.
Any photos, right.
Any photos.
Now, Smash and Grabs. to see a rat, a clear rat before any photos. Any photos, right. Any Microsoft photos.
Sure.
Now, smash and grabs.
They're on the rise.
Yeah.
They all, you know, go into a store, look like you're a customer, smash, grab, run.
It's pretty, it's very, what would you call it?
Back to basics.
Brazen.
Oh, yeah.
It's brazen.
Yeah, it's very brazen, but it's back to basics.
I'm just going to take this and go for a run and see what happens.
So someone was trying to do this.
This was in Washington in the States,
and there were three of them, teenagers, 17 years old,
and they walked into Louis Vuitton.
Ooh.
If I was a security guard and I saw a 17-year-old, I suppose maybe in Washington, though, rich teens, who knows?
Well, the ones that I go past on Queen Street,
they have like a line, you've got to line up
and they've got security people that let you in.
Yes, yeah.
So they wouldn't let like some teenager in
that doesn't look like they can afford like a $2,000 bag.
Yeah, I don't think they'd let me in.
I've never, because I'm never dressed up or anything like that.
I've never been, I've never stepped foot in a designer,
like a high-end designer clothing store. You just get yours on the street
in Bangkok don't you? Yeah I'm also just a woman of the people
Anyway so these
three teenagers go in and then on
the security camera footage you see two of
them at a wall of handbags
grab them and
they're on those cords you know that are like
into the wall. I love the security
cords. Yeah so they just
rip them off there and they run and they go.
And on the video, it looks like the security is just like, what?
And they just sort of look at them run out.
Then you cut to a different angle and it's another guy
and he's grabbing a whole bunch of stuff.
He's stealing $18,000 worth of luxury goods.
He runs for the door and he smashes into a glass window
and knocks himself out. Cold.
Did he not see the window?
Well, it's all glass.
So he didn't know which one was the
open door and which one was just a
pane of glass. And he runs
into it and completely like doof
hits the deck. Oh wow. Out cold.
And so they arrest him?
Yeah, the security guard just walks over slowly
and handcuffs him.
Catches him. Wow. That's handy.
That's handy. Really helpful.
Making his job a lot easier.
I mean, his job would have been easier if
nobody had stolen anything in the first place.
Yeah, it could have been a nice quiet day at Louis Vuitton.
But anyway, I've never seen
someone go out like this other than in like
a MMA fight.
Yeah.
Yes, MMA fight.
Yeah, MM.
Mixed martial arts.
Like knocked out cold.
I've never knocked myself out.
I've come close where I've like doinked my head and gone like.
Doink.
Everything goes a bit.
See stars.
Yeah, see stars.
Have you knocked yourself out?
No. Snowboarding I did
were you out like
for a while
there was a bit when I was like
yeah
because when did the
there was that time
the mountain rescue
that was at the same time
oh he got
he had to get rescued
on a
he had to get rescued
on a ride
ski patrol
ski patrol
there's a boy
he's hurt himself
I was like
thank you for calling me a boy
how old were you?
22
oh you're a boy
you got to go on the snow
snowmobile
I know
that's not as much fun though
because you want to sit up
and enjoy it
like a fun little zippy ride
but they lie you down
oh bugger
and tow you
and then they're like
can you feel this
can you feel this
can you feel this
can you feel this
and you're like
yep yep yep yep
and then they let you go
wow well I want to know if you have knocked yourself out And then they're like, can you feel this? Can you feel this? Can you feel this? Can you feel this? And you're like, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. And then they let you go. Wow.
Well, I want to know if you have knocked yourself out and how.
And maybe it was at a really bad time like this.
Yeah, like you were trying to rob a Louis Vuitton store.
Yeah.
Or it was just a comedy of errors.
Yeah.
How did you knock yourself out?
Maybe you didn't see a glass door or a glass window.
Yeah.
Because that's a thing, isn't it?
They put like strips across windows because some people can't see them.
That's why like sliding doors and stuff have to be in that safety glass that just shatters.
Because otherwise it turns to shards and you'll bloody nick yourself.
All right.
Well, 0800DARLS.M is the number.
We want you to give us a call.
Text 9696.
Have you knocked yourself out?
And how?
This happened in America though.
Teens robbing a Louis Vuitton store.
Yes, and the final one went to make his escape.
Straight into a glass window.
Knocked himself out cold.
Arrested. We want to know from you this morning, when glass window, knocked himself out cold, arrested.
We want to know from you this morning,
when you've knocked yourself out.
That's funny.
That's like humans.
We're just like, our body goes, nope.
Yeah.
Stop.
Out.
Blair, good morning.
How did you knock yourself out?
Well, I was doing, you know, just a good Kiwi job,
removing a fence.
Good man, good man, good man. Yeah I sort of dug it down and I was
moving the fence post back and forth and it was
a pretty old fence post and
it had been concreted in
and I was just trying to wiggle it out and
all of a sudden I pulled back, it just
snapped at the base, hit me in the nose
woke up
about a second or two later
nose was just
pouring with blood,
broke my nose.
And yeah, my son comes up and goes,
oh, Dad, you broke the fence post.
And possibly your nose.
No concern for me.
It was just more worried about that I'd broken the fence post.
It's so shame when you do it to yourself.
You know what I mean?
You didn't sort of get hit by something,
but you just pulled something into your face.
Wake up with a blood nose.
Blair, thanks for your call.
Alicia, you knocked yourself out.
Yes, I was living in an old 1950s style house
and had just got a new puppy.
I was in the bathroom, had a shower,
and I was, like, leaning on the old towel rail,
peeping out the window to talk to the dog.
Of course.
And the towel rail, leaning so hard on the towel rail, it fell and broke,
and I hit the front of my head on the window sill,
and fell back and hit the back of my head on the shower.
Passed out, butt naked.
Double whammy.
Oh, my God.
You gave yourself a double.
And then, so what, you woke up in the shower, in the bath?
No, my husband at the time, he heard this massive bang
and came running in, and I was just, yeah,
stuck, I was knocked out on the floor.
Wow.
Wow.
And that's how you go when you get old.
You've got to have a good, sturdy handrail.
Yeah.
Yeah, and soon after that, we actually renovated the bathroom.
Yeah, I was going to say, the towel rail.
Did you put rails in, bed of rails?
Yeah, you know, all the safety precautions for the elderly, yeah.
Yeah.
Did you get one of those sort of frames you put over the toilet that you can sort of put
yourself down?
Yeah.
Perfect.
I can't wait until I have a seat in the shower.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
An old person's seat in the shower.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I want a rail in the shower, you know. shower. I want a rail in the shower.
I need a rail in the toilet.
Get me up.
Alicia, thank you. Nikita, when did you knock
yourself out? I was in
year 12 dance class and I was doing a high kick.
I sent my right leg up into the air,
connected my shin to my forehead,
lost my
left leg out from
underneath me and fell backwards onto the back of my head.
I'm so embarrassed for you.
That's impressive.
Yeah, I could only ever dream of being that flexible.
Oh, I'm not now.
Holy moly.
My head will never meet my shin, Nikita.
You can dream.
You can dream.
No, no, no, no, no.
It's my nightmare.
If my head meets my shin, I'm in an automobile accident.
So how many people were around for this?
Probably about 20-odd in the year 2012.
Shame, Nikita, shame.
Was it caught on video?
This is long before social media.
You're so lucky, you're so lucky,
because nowadays all the dance moms would be having the phones out.
They'd be filming.
You'd be a meme.
You would be a meme. Yeah. You'd be filming. You'd be a meme. You would be a meme.
Yeah.
You would be known as girl knocks self out with own leg.
No, it'd be like that feeling when someone says hello and you say good.
Good.
Boing.
Boing.
Amazing.
Nikita, thank you.
Message is in.
You know what?
Mountain bikes are pretty popular for people knocking themselves out on.
People wearing helmets too.
I was mountain biking on the port hills.
I was found next to my bike at the bottom of a 35-foot jump.
Oh, my God.
Massive head injury.
Tried to get out of the ambulance on the way to the hospital.
I don't want to be here.
I was mountain biking home from the gym.
I was in a hurry.
I don't know what happened or where it happened because I have amnesia.
I eventually showed up at home walking my bike with a broken rib, head injury, and filthy clothing.
Wow.
Oh, my God.
No memory of it.
No memory.
And then you've got ones like, I got out of the shower and flicked my head forward to
wrap a towel around my head and smash my head straight into the bed.
I've done that.
You get out, and then your thing's right there, and you go, huh?
Flick.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
My kids were scared of monkey bars,
so I said, I'll show you how Dad used to do the monkey bars.
Oh, Dad, you're not six anymore.
Dad was upside down hanging from his knees when he was like,
I think I'm heavier than I was when I was six.
Face planted into the ground and knocked myself out.
Yes.
My brother got hit with a giant exercise ball,
knocked him out and sent him flying,
but was funny to see.
I was running, looking up,
trying to catch a cricket ball
and just ran straight into a wall
and knocked him out.
Oh!
We've got to keep the eye on the ball.
Eye on the ball.
That's the thing, eye on the ball.
And those cricketers,
they know they're not going to hit anything.
Yeah, yeah.
We need a concrete wall to run into.
724, our American Airlines boarding call
is coming up in the next 10 minutes.
But next on the show.
I overheard someone talking about me at the gym yesterday.
Oh.
You'd think compliments, no doubt.
Yeah, looking at your dumper.
Well, no.
No, kind of.
Play it.
ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Today's fact of the day, very interesting.
It's about the longest walk undertaken by a human.
Oh, yeah.
The longest nonstop walk. Isn't that one that Australian guy did?
He walked the width of Aussie recently.
This is longer.
Good.
Non-stop.
He ran across Australia.
He was doing 100 k's a day.
That's insane.
Did anybody check that?
You reckon he got out a lime scooter?
Yeah.
At Uluru, he charged his lime scooter and went to it.
When you say non-stop, you mean no sleeping?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
He slept.
He did sleep.
It was one journey.
Yes.
Technically, it was on the journey.
And I thought at the same time I would give a mention to a man called Sam Troth, who is
currently walking the length of New Zealand to raise awareness for males who are
survivors of sexual abuse.
Oh, right.
He himself suffered
and he's like opening up
and he said he lived with it,
you know,
a buried down secret
for a long, long time
and he said it certainly
wasn't good for him
or anybody else
and lots of other people suffering.
Where's he up to?
I don't know where he's at
at the moment
because I only read the,
yeah, I read the news story
the other day.
Is he going to take
the Indoor Islander? Technically, if he's at at the moment because I only read the news story the other day. Is he going to take the inter-Islander?
Technically, if he's walking the length of New Zealand, would he have to slowly walk the length of the inter-Islander?
Keep walking while on the inter-Islander and lapse.
Keep walking, lapse while the inter-Islander is going.
Well, he's out there and he's raising awareness and he's a bloody good chap for doing so.
But this guy who did the longest walk is a man called George Megan.
Still alive? Okay. Still
well? He walked
from the absolute bottom of South
America to the
upper west side of
America, of the Americas, so
Alaska. He got to the westernmost point of Alaska.
How far is that?
It is, hold on, I've got the
record here. Because there's no road when you get to the border of Colombia and Panama.
You can't cross over.
There's no land border.
No, no, no, he just walks.
He just walks.
He just went through the jungle.
He went the long way, yes.
Wow.
So the journey was 30,608 kilometres on foot,
and it took him 2,426 days to do it.
So 1977 through 1983, he was walking.
Dogs, snakes, crocodiles, anything get him?
He was walking for the entire time.
The first Star Wars movie was released.
Of course, that's how you measure time.
1977 to me is the year my parents got born.
Star Wars came out and Elvis died.
Wow.
83 is Return of the Jedi?
And he walked the whole time.
Here are some other stats about his walk.
41 million steps.
And he wouldn't have even had like an Apple Watch to close his rings every day.
They counted all of them.
He wore out 12 and a half pairs of the finest Italian hiking boots.
He wore through them.
He married his sweetheart.
He had two children. He just left them. He married his sweetheart. He had two children.
He just left them at home.
In that time?
He married this woman and then on this walk also impregnated her twice.
So I don't know if she was flying.
She was meeting him at motels or something.
Must have been.
Flying in, flying out.
He traversed the historically impassable Darien Gap,
which he was shot at
and survived a knifing attack unscathed.
That is, the Darien
Gap is a geographic region
between the North and South American continents.
He would have
because if he went over time
he would have gone through seasons as well.
Yeah, that's what I was saying.
There's no border. Why has there never been a road through?
Probably, I don't border. Why has there never been a road through?
Probably, I don't know.
Do you ferry?
Like, if you were to get your car, would you ferry around it?
Well, I don't think there is a car ferry.
You can ferry.
I know you can passenger ferry.
Yeah.
Fascinating that there's no road that you could take.
Well, anyway, yeah, he survived that.
They said it's impossible.
And he visited the sitting president, Jimmy Carter, at his home and garnered eight world records for the longest walk.
So how he started, I'll describe it to you.
Bottom South America, kind of up on the left-hand side of South America.
Didn't go too far into Brazil or anything like that.
And then across, when he got into America, he went up to Texas
and he went across to Washington and then walked back across,
all the way across America and then up through to Washington and then walked back across all the way across America
and then up through Canada and into Alaska.
So I've Googled why there's no road or connection between Panama and Colombia,
and it's a lot of environmental reasons.
Right.
And it's very harsh terrain, but also politically they don't want to invite problems from Colombia.
I don't know if you've heard, but they make great...
Bracelets.
Bracelets.
Bread.
Yeah.
And that coffee.
They make great coffee.
Fantastic coffee beans.
That's the word I was looking for.
Yeah, that's right.
Coffee beans.
That's the one.
So that'd be why.
So today's fact of the day
is the man who took the longest solo walk
and still holds the record for it
walked 30,600 kilometres and it took him five years to do.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Yeah. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do- segment of the show where we take a look at new food trends, food items. Had some news
from across the ditch
overnight.
A lot of Vegemite news
today.
Yummy, yummy.
Doubled up.
Vegemite's just,
it feels like,
it's just been doing
a big,
Vegemite and Marmite
seem to really be
entering the domain
lately, you know.
Yeah, trying to get on,
what, on the talk,
I suppose.
Yeah.
Doing some outlandish
behaviour for the talk.
I love Vegemite.
It's so yum. Vegemite. It's so yum.
Vegemite.
Well, I would hoon this.
Coles, the big Aussie supermarket chain,
they've released a Vegemite-infused cooked chicken,
like handbag chicken, with cheesy stuffing.
Cheesy stuffing?
Cheesy stuffing.
Dude, what?
Cheesy stuffing. How does cheesy? Cheesy stuffing? Dude, what? Cheesy stuffing.
How does cheesy stuffing work with a roast chalk?
It would just be stuffing with cheese in it.
It'll be this traditional bread stuffing, but it'll have a hot cheese element to it.
Yeah.
Yum.
I'm here for this.
People are like, ooh, no, this looks amazing.
I would 100% buy the bachelor's handbag with cheesy stuffing and Vegemite. People are like, ooh, no, this looks amazing.
I would 100% buy the bachelor's handbag with cheesy stuffing and Vegemite.
I just Googled Vegemite chicken marinade.
Oh, okay.
It's a five-star rated recipe called sweet and sticky Vegemite chicken.
And it's like chicken nibbles. Is it like like a honey soy But with Vegemite in it
Okay what have we got here
Vegemite
Chili
Sauce
Oyster sauce
Brown sugar
Rice wine vinegar
Okay yeah
This has got a real
Sort of like
That's yum
Southeast Asian
Yeah that's good
Maybe actually
That's got a Korean vibe
Going on there
But yeah that would be
Yum
But also Vegemite
Like I put some Vegemite
In my Sauces Or you, like, I put some Vegemite in my
sauces or, you know, like,
if I'm cooking a bolognese or something,
because Vegemite's like umami.
It's just savoury, salty
goodness. Yeah. So it can add a lot of
depth. So this is an
infused chicken with
cheesy stuffing.
I would eat that. That's a
succulent chuck. Yeah.
Vaughan, you got a hot chuck.
I had a hot chuck last night, didn't you? Got a hot chuck yesterday, yeah.
The bachelor's handbag?
Right.
I got it, and it's been a while since I've...
Got a hot chuck, eh, on your arm?
Yeah, I got a hot chuck and a couple of wraps.
You know, there's a sign of a guy who's down and out on his luck.
Yeah.
No, it was good, and I got it home, and it was, like, hot. Yeah. But not, like, too hot, and I got it home and it was like hot.
But not like too hot. And I just like
pulled it apart with the old hands.
Just put your hand in there. Greasy, greasy.
Open the bin before.
If your bin needs a hand
to open it, open the bin before otherwise the bin's
going to be left with the greasy chicken remnants.
So I saw this
and then I was doing
prep last night and I saw another and then I was doing prep last night
and I saw another Vegemite article.
So there was an old jar of Vegemite from the 1940s
that someone found and it had some information on it.
They're disturbing people.
So we're knocking on 80-year-old jar of Vegemite.
Yeah, dude.
Edible?
Dude's my word today.
Dude.
Yeah, dude. Dudeible? Dude's my word today. Dude. Yeah, dude.
Dude, right?
Okay.
Anyway, so it says on the label,
Vegemite contains the nutritional elements of yeast
and is one of the most potent sources of vitamin B complex
used in sandwiches, soups, stews, and gravies.
Also, half to one teaspoonful in a glass of hot milk or water
makes a nourishing beverage.
Ew, milk.
No way.
Hot Vegemite milk.
Yuck.
No, that's not a thing.
Hot Vegemite in water would just taste like stock.
Yeah, it would.
Yeah, it'd be very salty stock.
And add a stretch if you needed.
Yeah, that and a stretch would be all right, but not.
That could almost have a miso vibe.
Yeah.
But milk.
Hey.
Milk.
Well, can someone try it, please?
Because I'm not going to.
Do you know what that feels like?
What?
South Africa.
You reckon they're doing Vegemite milk?
Well, producer Jared's not happy.
I don't think he's happy with that.
Well, Namibia actually got independence from South Africa,
so I learned that recently,
so there's a big difference
between Namibia and South Africa.
Is that a South African thing?
I think it might be
because I know we used to have
the occasional hot bovril.
Hot bovril?
Hot bovril's another yeast spread, eh?
But with milk, though?
Nah, never with milk.
Oh, never with milk.
Never with milk.
Okay.
Well, there you go.
Keep it to the chicken.
Dudes, dudes,
I just googled Vegemite milk. How to make a Vegemite milkshake. Well, there you go. Keep it to the chicken. Dudes, dudes, I just Googled Vegemite milk.
How to make a Vegemite milkshake.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
You can actually make a full milkshake with that.
That's disgusting.
Milkshake.
Somebody said Duck Island ice cream currently have a Vegemite toast flavoured ice cream.
No.
Now, to me, Duck Island could do no wrong.
Well, they have now.
An absolute treat.
Now.
They have now.
They've stepped on a landmine.
And they don't know whether or not to leave their foot on it or take their foot off and jump.
They've made a crazy move.
They're going to lose people back to the frozen yogurts that you fill with lollies if they keep this up.
Are they still a thing?
Yeah.
Yeah, they're still a thing, aren't they?
I love those.
I was a big fro-yo girl.
Do you remember when fro-yo like 18 years ago was like the place to go?
Hell yeah.
Topped with a few gummy lollies.
I just want to leave you with a final recipe,
a Vegemite milkshake.
Vegemite, ice cream, Milo, milk, two eggs, nutmeg,
and a bouillon cube.
I want to try that.
What is bouillon?
Stock cube, oxo.
And a milkshake?
And one very hot chili pepper.
I actually do want to try that, though.
Just out of curiosity.
When you added the eggs.
Yeah, that was odd.
The stock and the chilli.
That's like.
Got to get your protso, bro.
I reckon this is a joke.
It's got to be a joke.
Play ZM's Fletch for the daily.
Play ZM.
Well, yesterday, ahoy anchor emoji, we is quite a good opening line on a dating app.
Ahoy.
Which is fun.
And that was how C Montgomery Burns recommended that the phone be answered.
Ahoy.
Ahoy, ahoy.
Ahoy, ahoy.
Which was also the guy who invented the phone, how he wanted people to answer the phone, right?
He wanted ahoy, ah Hoy to be the official way
you answered a telephone
rather than hello
because you say that
when you see people in person.
And now I just answer the phone
and I'm like,
who could this be?
I just listen.
Question mark.
Hello?
What?
Yeah.
Well, I thought
a cuter one,
a cuter opening line
on the dating apps
would be
boop,
B-O-O-P
and then the finger poke and then emoji and then the nose emoji. a cuter opening line on the dating apps would be boop, B-O-O-P,
and then the finger poke, and then emoji, and then the nose emoji.
So it's like you just walked up to them and you're like boop, boop, boop.
You touch them on the nose because that's real cute.
If someone did that to me in person and I was a single woman and a hottie came up to me and went boop, I'd be like very endearing.
You'd need to be the right sort of person to pull it off.
I mean, when you're're hot you can do no wrong
Yeah
You're hot
But if you're like creepy maybe not
You've got to work on an approach that's not going to work
Specified to you
But we got sent some responses that people had on dating apps
People tried this yesterday
Some people tried it on their boyfriends
And like this wasn't for you
This wasn't
No they just wanted to feel included.
This is a pickup line.
Renee replied saying, oh great, now he's unmatched me on Tinder.
Well, he wasn't worth it, Renee.
Yeah, if he can't handle you at your boop,
he doesn't deserve you at your Beyonce.
I think that's the saying.
I think it is, yeah.
Yvette said boop with my recommended combination of emojis.
And then this gentleman replied, boop, finger point, peach emoji.
Oh, no.
So she booped him on the nose and he just popped a finger up her bum.
That's what it seems like.
It's not what happens here.
Someone went boop.
You can't go straight to that.
You've escalated that very quickly.
Don't give him a Southern Hemisphere tap.
That's not.
No.
Okay.
God, that's.
At least take me out for dinner first.
Buy me a wine.
Yeah.
Amy just replied saying, I would unmatch that.
Well, that's probably why you're single, Amy.
So, I mean, I'm just trying to help you out here.
You can seep some boops in your life.
Yeah.
Someone else said, I went, boop, finger point, nose.
And his reply was, oh my God, that's a nose.
Because when you do look at the nose emoji at a quick glance,
it could be a very Caucasian penis.
It could be, yeah.
It could be.
With the Bs as well. He said, oh my God, that's a nose. I thought you were bo be, yeah. It could be. With the B's as well.
He said,
oh my God, that's a nose.
I thought you were booping my junk.
Right, okay.
And did he say,
would you like to?
Yeah.
I kind of want to apologise
for men from here on out.
Yeah, yeah.
Boop.
Fingerpoint nose.
The reply was,
does this mean you're DTF?
Like, not even any like,
please.
No, please.
There's no cuteness in reply. Yeah, this is not working. This, pick up line, Vaughn. It's not working. does this mean you're DTF? Like not even any like Please. Please entries.
No cuteness in reply.
Yeah, this is not working.
This pick up line Vaughn.
It's not working.
It's a fail Vaughn.
I blame the guys.
Yeah.
Guys should do this
back to women
because all the people
we got that sent in examples
were women who had
messaged guys.
Yeah, right.
But as Hayley said
it's kind of more endearing
if it comes from a guy.
Boop.
Yeah.
Getting on the nose.
Boop. Finger. N on the nose. Boop.
Finger.
Nose.
The reply was, don't touch that.
I had COVID, but keen as after.
Oh, God.
It is bleak out here.
Yeah, this is a failure, Vaughn.
Boop.
Finger.
Nose.
The guy replied, I'm not your dog, but I sure can be.
Oh, for God's sake.
Guys, we've got to be better.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
I'll just turn that off.
We were a little bit distracted.
A little bit distracted.
What was that?
What were you distracted by?
I was distracted by this funny picture of Mel Gibson in the 1990s
smoking a cigarette with the title,
Mum in the 90s watching you open your Christmas presents.
That is so true.
He's got the longest
year.
Wow.
I didn't have a smoking parents growing up.
No, no. Imagine that.
And their parents would be smoking in the lounge.
How wild is that? That's wild.
How wild is that? That's wild.
Yesterday, Vaughn,
you sent a message in the group chat, a photo.
I don't know. I'm just going to send That one to Shade
Because I think
She'll really like that
Yeah spread it around
Can you add it
To the Insta stories
I'll send you that
I'll send Carwen the link
Do you want to share
That in the
On the
I don't know
That doesn't
Fit her aesthetic
Oh does that not
Fit the aesthetic
Of the brand
Because we all
I had a great laugh
At Mel Gibson
It's so spot on
You've got to put it up, Carwen,
because you've got to share what we've been laughing at,
even if it doesn't fit the aesthetic.
No.
Or the anti-smoking message of the now.
The aesthetic is changing.
Yeah.
What was that?
Oh, what about that other joke from yesterday?
I'll quickly tell this one.
A baby cockroach says to his father,
Dada, what happens when we get covered and raid?
Pop a roach, suffocation, no breathing.
Now, that's for a certain demographic.
That's a good joke.
That's for a certain demographic.
That's a good joke.
Anyway, shit, we're having fun.
Suffocation, no breathing.
Ah, man. Good fun. Ah, we're having a lot of fun got to say it properly. Yeah. Suffocation. No breathing. Ah, man.
Good fun.
Ah, we're having a lot of fun here.
We're having a bloody laugh.
May the fun never end.
Yesterday, I was walking from the supermarket back to my car.
Yeah.
My car was parked where it meant I had to walk through an area outside BK
and there was a bark garden.
And as I was walking, I was like, I saw something in the bark garden.
I was like, what's that?
And I looked and I was like, is that like a COVID test?
So I squatted.
You know when your dad has a squat because he's looking at something.
But he can't get too close because he doesn't have his glasses.
So I gave it a squat.
Lo and behold, it's a pregnancy test.
Pregnosis.
Is that the brand?
Which I thought was a great brand name.
It's a great brand name, yeah.
The prognosis is pregnant.
Yeah.
Or a pregnosis.
What was the pregnosis?
Was it?
Not pregnant.
One line, not two lines.
Right.
Because that was the other thing.
I don't know how many lines meant what.
Right.
It was on the box, isn't it?
No, it was written further on the handle.
Oh, was it?
Okay.
You didn't touch it, did you?
God, what am I?
I'm not touching it.
Someone does wheeze on that.
I'm not touching anything on the ground, let alone something that's definitely got wheeze
on it.
I wonder if the person who was peeing on a pregnancy test in a bark patch outside Burger
King, Kumu, wanted it to be two lines or one.
And I put it up and I was like, this is where I do my pregnancy tests too. Yeah. outside Burger King, QMU, wanted it to be two lines or one. That's,
that's,
and I put it up and I was like,
this is where I do my pregnancy tests too.
Yeah.
And weirdly,
people thought,
they watched it on mute.
They didn't hear what I said.
They thought I was announcing
that Shada and I were having a third child.
Oh, right.
Oh, gosh.
This is how I choose to make my announcement.
In a barn, garden.
Yeah.
But that was what everybody was fascinated about.
Like, what's the story here?
How did it get there?
Like, was it on someone's lunch break and then they were going to eat?
Where did they wheeze?
Was it in the garden?
Or maybe it was in the handbag and it just fell out.
Or they threw it out the window before they went through the drive-thru.
They went, thank God.
Yeah. And they were like, hooray, and just threw it out the window before they went through the drive-thru. They went thank God. Yeah, and they
were like hooray and just
threw it out the window, which is
gross because it's plastic also. It's going to
take years to break down.
Because you'd get the result where you
did it like right, like in the toilet.
How long does it take? No, it takes like five
or ten minutes. It's like a PCR.
It's like a rat test.
Okay. God, how embarrassing for a pigeon if they choked and died,
and they died from choking on a pregnancy test.
On a weed on stick.
It'd be one of those big mollyhawks,
one of those super-sized seagulls that I reckon would choke.
But then, like, the thing is, if you find out you're pregnant,
you're in a bark garden outside a fast food restaurant.
You know what I love?
Yeah.
What a weird place to find out you're pregnant.
You're like, oh, my God, I'm pregnant.
I've got nothing to pay.
I don't know what I have.
Hold on, man.
Hold on.
We're going through a lot.
There's calls behind you.
Can we ask you to pull out of the side, please?
Give me a minute.
But it got me thinking, and I'd love to Take some calls this morning

the story of where they were
when they found out
they were pregnant with you.
Okay, well,

Maybe it is.
Outside Burger King, Q-Mirror.
Found a pregnancy test in a public bark garden.
Recently barked too, so that's going to be there until they bark over it.
Fresh bark.
Or someone does a whip around, just with gloves on, hopefully,
picks them up, deposits it in the correct receptacle.
Recycling?
It is plastic.
Now, this was outside a BK, wasn't it?
Well, not to be outdone, the show sponsor has stepped in.

I was in a McDonald's bathroom.
So what was it that made you go, I'm going to do it here?
So I was out with a bunch of friends.
I hadn't been feeling good over the last week.
And we all thought, oh, wouldn't
it be absolutely hilarious if
I took a pregnancy test, you know,
and we kind of just did it for the
sake of just to see, like,
it was more just like more of a funny thing
and then it came out positive
and it was the
biggest shock of my life.
Wow. And were you just like,
did you say to your friends, it was negative, don't worry about it?
Or did you tell them?
I came out and I just put it on the table and I was like, well.
Okay, that had wheeze on it.
No, you put a cap on it.
Don't put that on the table.
You put a cap on the wheeze.
You put a cap on it.
Oh, right.
And they all just absolutely burst into absolute laughter because nobody knew how to react.
No. Wow. No.
Wow.
Wow, what a place to find out, too.
Yes.

It's an afro.
It's an orange afro.
Is the father a red-haired perched child?
Yes, this is a pale child.

Oh, my God.
And then after he pops out, the Hamburglar's head comes out as well
and he's like.
Twins.

Wait

Amazing.
Hannah, thank you for sharing.
Some messages to finish up.
I found out I was pregnant in the hospital two hours before my baby was born.
Brilliant.
I love these stories.
You know I love these stories.
How does someone carry a child?
You hear about how terrible pregnancy is for some people,
just constantly feeling it.
And some people are like, I found out just as I was giving birth.
Yeah.
I was in the toilets of the Takishmaya department store in Singapore.
Oh, okay.
Sounds posh, doesn't it?
Sounds very flesh.
Yeah, that sounds posh.
My partner was at work
And his workmates water broke
She thought she'd wet her pants

Zero preparation
Didn't know a baby
Was ever going to be
On the horizon
Bit of a tum
But didn't think much of it
Yeah
I found out I was pregnant
In Turkey
After a week of waking up
Every morning
Thinking I was hungover
I took her the day
We were leaving
Didn't want to ruin the holiday
Had to ask the cleaner to read out the instructions
because they were in Turkish.
Oh, yeah.
That's interesting, yeah.
Wow.
She was pregnant.
You're like, sorry.
No, are you sorry?

Surprise!

Play.
C.D.M.'s Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Play.
C.D.M.'s Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Silly little poe.
Silly little poe.
It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little poe. Silly little Poe online shopping or in-store shopping?
Which do you prefer?
Oh, it's a hard one.
I'm an online guy.
Unless I need to try something on.
Yeah, I think I'm the same. Clothes in
store, you've got to wear it.
I recently purchased jeans
and I walked in
and the guy's like, can I help you? And I said, I want to be
in and out of here as quick as possible. And he
was just like, yes sir. And we
just connected. Yeah.
At a level, he's like, what are you after? I was like, black jeans.
He's like, what fit? I was like, you tell me.
And he's like, slim.
But not skinny, yeah.
Skinny's the skinniest, right?
Relaxed.
Slim's the next.
Yeah, slim.
It wasn't relaxed.
And then bang, what size are you?
Dude, not bootcut.
Although I would go for a flare.
Low rise.
Low rise flare.
Because I've got this new G-string I want to show off in the clubs.
Yeah, you've got the gutters.
Oh, not yet.
Not yet. But if it's low rise, you've got the gutters. The gutters, yeah. Not yet. Not yet.
But if it's low rise, like if I get a high waisted jean, I've got a little muffy top
over the top.
So I'm not into that.
I'm not into that vibe.
Yeah.
And I was literally, I had a new pair of jeans and I was in and out of there in, I would
say, less than five minutes.
Yeah, that's good.
Including a try on.
The thing that took the longest time was undoing my boots to take them off to put the jeans
on.
Yeah.
Good stuff.
How did you fit a cry in there?
I didn't have time.
All the women listening are like, yes, thank you.
Jeans trying on is the worst.
I hate trying on jeans.
Because with women in particular as well, you've got so many bits and bumps and lumps and bumps to get in there.
Not every style fits.
You're always like.
Oh, don't cry about that, babe.
Just try a different style.
There's something out there
for everybody.
Absolutely.
You just gotta find it.
Yeah, I think these Levi's
people know what they're doing.
Yeah.
I haven't heard of them.
Have you not heard of them?
Is that cotton on?
Levi's.
Ah.
Or Levis?
I think it's Levis.
So do you prefer
shopping online or in store?
51% online,
49% in store,
online.
Okay. I'm astore, online. Okay.
I'm pipping.
Shoot.
Couldn't be closer, could it?
Yeah, sometimes I just want it now.
If I decide I want something, I'm like, I must have it today.
I'm going to go get it.
I'm going to go get it.
You go get it.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Whereas if you've got the patience.
I like a bit of international shopping though.
I buy a lot from Australia.
Yeah.
You know, like fashion brands that we don't have here.
I sort of buy expensive online.
Wanga Danga.
Wanga Danga Hulu Guru.
Yeah, yeah, that's good stuff.
The Hoodoo Gurus.
The Hoodoo Gurus.
Are those, I love your jeans.
Are they Hoodoo Guru?
Yeah, they are.
Yeah, yeah, beautiful.
Michelle said, because I never get the sizing right and I never send it back,
so I've got so many packages that I've said I'll send back for a refund
and I've never got around to it.
See, and that's bad
for the environment too.
If you're just willy-nilly
buying jeans and stuff,
like, you know what?
If you're sending
all these packages back,
it's just a waste of money.
My God, he's an eco-warrior.
I am an eco-warrior.
We don't talk about this enough
how much of an eco-warrior you are.
He offsets it with his tyre fires though.
Yeah, his tyre fires
in his apartment.
He's got a business
where he's like,
have you got too many tyres at your business? I'll come and dispose of them ec though. Yeah, he has tyre fires in his apartment. He's got a business where he's like, have you got too many tyres at your business?
I'll come and dispose of them ecologically.
Yeah, I burn them.
This is the thing as well with women's clothing.
Just so you know how hard it is for us out there.
Oh, yeah.
But like for you, right, it says 36 or 34.
That's the measurement, right?
On women's clothing, it's like 10, 12, 14.
And a 12 is not a 12.
Like a 12 in one brand is not a 12 in the other.
Sometimes a 32 is not a 32.
And a 34 is not a 34.
Because in this brand, I'm a 32.
And then when I went to try on a Barker's suit
for my mate's wedding, I was like, he's like,
what size are your pants? I was like, 32. And he went,
respectfully.
Oh my God!
I would have left.
And then the 34 was too tight in the quad.
And he's like, this is the problem with a formal pant.
Barker's has gone to shit since Dean Barker left.
Yeah.
Spent too much time on the bones.
No, this dude was.
No, they're spending too much time on the spreads.
This dude was.
And the juice concentrates.
It's too much.
This dude, I must give him props.
He was like British tailor level into it though.
Like, I'll pin those up, sir.
And how about that, sir?
It was like he ran the tape measure up under your...
Yes.
Again, he said, respectfully, and then pushed my testicles to the side.
Oh, good.
Like a curtain.
Like a curtain.
Respectfully.
Like a wet shower curtain.
Yeah, one that clings to your leg
Yeah
Yeah he was a
No he was a very professional gentleman
Good
But now that we've talked about him
Fondling my balls
I don't want to say what branch it is
Because I don't want him to
Like that was a lie
That was just a bit of a ha ha
But sure
We obviously knew
He didn't touch your balls
Despite my pleas
Do you want to get out
A bit further on there
Are the balls in the way mate
Because feel free to shuffle those.
Anything that's in the way, just whack it out of the way, mate.
He's like, I'm not touching your balls.
It won't be the penis.
No, they're not in the way.
I can barely see them.
I can barely feel them.
Oh, no, the balls are very present.
Yeah, right, right, right.
The ratio's not right.
He's long in the ball.
The ratio's out.
The ratio's out.
Ever see a bull in the paddock and you can see his big hangers,
but you can't see the actual member?
You're a bull in the paddock.
I'm a bull in the paddock.
He's hardly clearing the pubes.
No, I won't have that slander.
Wow.
Because he's a maintainer.
He's a maintainer.
He's a maintainer.
Jodie says, I want it right now, then and there, on the spot, best, in store, can't be beaten.
Adam says, it want it right now, then and there, on the spot, best, in store, can't be beaten. Adam says, it's so convenient, I'd rather pay a couple of pounds for someone else to spend an hour
grabbing what we want and have it delivered.
We haven't done a big shop since the first UK lockdown.
I think there he's thinking about grocery shopping.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Which, again, it totally, I'm bad.
I go to the supermarket and I'm like, yesterday I was like, we need a hot chook.
Yeah.
I came out with a bloody basket full of stuff.
Oh, we might need toothpaste.
Oh, we might need that.
We might need that.
Yeah.
Oh, I better get some more deodorant.
I've opened mine.
Yeah.
Oh, God, it's the weekend coming up.
I better grab some hash browns.
Yeah.
I'm shocking.
But I can see why you do it all online and just take all that out of it.
Steph says, online.
No people.
I don't have to actively search
and I find the best price over multiple sites.
This is actually reminding me.
I did go into a store the other day
at the start of the week
and find some really nice shorts
and I was like, these are good.
And then I was like, they're how much?
So I was like, take a photo of the label.
I'll Google that later.
Yeah, find them online.
See if I can find them cheaper.
Yeah. That's naughty. How did it can find them cheaper. Oh. Yeah.
That's naughty.
How did it feel to euthanise the retail system?
Yeah, wow.
Were you happy with that?
When you put your foot on the throat of New Zealand retailers.
It was just a small stab.
Did they gasp and ask for mercy?
It was a small stab on the side.
You shanked them.
I shanked them and left.
A surprise attack.
It wasn't a killing.
Oh, my gosh.
Well, that's the thing.
You didn't know you actually nicked a major organ and they bled out.
Wow, okay.
It was a long, slow, painful death.
Imogen said, not once in my life have I returned an online purchase.
Really?
Are they being sarcastic?
No, I think, like, the other person, they get sent and they're like,
Oh, yeah.
Look.
See, how wasteful is that
Unless you're gonna sell it
Look at this
I have had this in my bag
To send back
Does this have a date on it
They gave me the postage
To send it back
That's from the start of the year
What is that for
We work
It was a pair of jeans
That ripped
And I said
Oh these
Remember the jeans
I hadn't had that long
And they ripped
And they're like
Oh my god send them back
And they sent me this new pair
But you haven't...
I still haven't sent this guy.
We work next to a post office.
I know, but just repair
them and keep them.
They're non-repairable.
Blow out in the gorge.
This is a bit of chub rub.
The ratio's out.
The ratio's well out.
It creates a little additional friction.
Edna likes to feel the quality of the fabric. The ratio's well out and it creates a little additional friction. Not enough room for the paddock.
Edna likes to feel the quality of the fabric.
So she's a big fan of in-store shopping, try items on.
Online shopping always makes me suspicious of what will actually arrive.
Yeah.
So there you go.
It's very even.
I can see all valid points.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
It's the final rankings.
Today for final rankings, we will be ranking our favourite months of the year.
Normally it's food heavy, this segment.
Yeah.
We should do Christmas food next week.
Yes, yes, yes. For final rankings.
Yes, yes, yes.
Yeah.
Glaze ham.
Ham.
Yeah.
Ham. We've done it already.
Save it for next week.
Today it's months of the year.
Favourite months.
We've got to do a top three. We can't rank them all.
Because I would say May's in the trash.
September's in the trash.
September's fun. It's spring.
It's when it starts coming back to life.
There's little lambies and stuff.
Do you think December's in the mix?
Because work's a write-off and nobody really bothers.
No, December's too rushed.
December's, everybody's rushing around.
Like, if you've got kids at school, they're finishing up school.
But if you're at, like, uni, then you've got to, like, sort your shit out.
I would almost go either Feeble May for the best summer month.
May?
No, sorry, March.
Feeble March. Yeah.
Because the weather's better than January. January's
always rainy. Too much
weight's put on January and if
January has a couple of weeks of bad weather...
It ruins most people's holiday.
Yeah, totally, because they're on holiday, but February's
more of your reliable summer month. You've got a long
weekend in there? Yeah, you've got a couple. One or two?
You've got a few bloody legends having their birthday in that month
too. Yeah, legends. And
it starts on the same day that it ends.
Oh, you're 28. I love it. It's even
on the calendar. It's even on the calendar.
And every four years it's like a little spicy.
I add another day. Yeah. It's a little bit like
hey, don't forget about me. Yeah.
February's number one. I think I'd go Feb number one, yeah.
Yeah, I'd go Feb number one. I'd go
for me, Jan number two.
Yeah. And then I'd go a wild
June, my birthday month, and now And then I'd go a wild.
June, my birthday month.
And now Matariki most of the time.
Well, June's cool because, yeah, you can go to Europe.
What about April?
What about April coming in when everyone's just getting back into the swing of work and being like, hey, I'm going to chuck Easter next to Anzac?
Yeah, that's good.
April rules.
April's so far away from the end of the year.
Yeah, and it's weather's not reliable.
May, as you said, is complete trash.
June is cold, but not cold
enough. August is my favourite
winter month, I think. Yeah.
Here's a twist. What if
you were in prison, what would your favourite
month be?
What am I in prison for?
Tax fraud. Murder. Oh, okay.
No, tax fraud and murdering
an accountant.
When did I murder the accountant?
March 31, the end of the financial year.
I should have waited until September when my GST was due.
I know, I know.
Also, this is not directed at our accountant. March would be my least favourite.
I would never murder Helen.
No, she's so lovely.
I want to praise her.
She's a darling. March would be my least favourite. I would never murder Helen. No, she's so lovely. I want to praise her. She's a darling.
March would be my least favourite month
because it would always remind me of the time
that I killed the accountant and ended up in the clink.
Yeah.
Maybe December would be the best month in prison
because they might do a different meal.
Do they do a steam putt in prison?
Maybe get Christmas cracker, wear a hat, wear a fun hat.
Yeah, and shankings actually go down a little bit in December.
Yeah, because the sun's out, Sun's out, fun's out.
Hitting the yard with the boys.
Just getting some R&R.
Are we all agreed? Feb?
Feb number one and I reckon
March.
Nah, May is trash.
May's the worst. Okay, done.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and
Hayley.
Moochie are in trouble They are
You love a bit of Mooch
I do, I own a lot of Moochie clothing
Are they a New Zealand company or Australasia?
They're New Zealand
They're New Zealand, okay
Not made in New Zealand but signed in New Zealand
Okay
So somebody from an Auckland charity store was alerted to the fact that there were
shoes and other bits and pieces and a rubbish skip outside the head office of
Moochie.
Okay.
And this Auckland charity store is obviously just like,
shit,
those are like brand new or maybe been worn once or a photo shoot.
Yep.
Maybe samples.
Yeah.
And if they're cleaning them out, if they're in the bin, waste not, want not.
One man's trash.
I mean, exactly.
If you can put the, and it shouldn't even be, it shouldn't even be a dignity thing.
If you see something that somebody's, it's like an organic rubbish collection.
There's no, and there's no loss of dignity being like, oh, a person's throwing out a
perfectly good couch because they don't have space for it.
They've put it there so you can take it.
There's no...
Anyway, so they got in there and bloody well got out the shoes.
Right.
And then apparently they're saying that this person from the charity store said that someone
allegedly threatened to call the police for them taking stock out of the bin.
That had been dumped in the skip.
I mean, yeah.
Right.
I guess they're thinking, from their perspective, they're thinking of their brand, aren't they?
Well, no, they said they regularly do make donations.
Oh, okay.
Where are the receipts?
It's been said now.
Isn't that bad, eh?
Like, someone's like, oh, I've made some donations.
And people will have to do that.
Prove it.
It's bad for two reasons.
No one trusts anybody to donate and no one trusts anybody has donated.
So they're saying that we have made donations before.
Those shoes weren't fit for purpose.
And the person who got them out said well I disagree
there were a few odds and ends
but absolutely
could be used again
well it's been donated in the past
yeah there's a photo of the
skip right and you can see that
some of them are damaged there's some like off cuts
and broken stuff
and what not but I just don't get the big
deal like if you found a pair of shoes or whatever and they were fine like offcuts and broken stuff and whatnot. But I just don't get the big deal.
Like if you found a pair of shoes or whatever
and they were fine,
they're literally going to go into the landfill otherwise.
Were they a size 10?
I love a moochie shoe.
You'd get in a dumpster for a size 10 moochie.
Because I did some Googling
because I remember something similar like this happening
and it was six years ago,
I found a Reddit post
a thread where somebody
saw the bin
outside Kathmandu in Takapuna
and they had slashed
That's going to be a good bin. Yeah
they had slashed the sleeping bags
because they were
throwing them out. They obviously didn't need them. I don't know if
they had been returned or they were
just old stock,
but they were like,
these have got to go,
but slash, slash, cut, cut, cut,
and in the bin.
And somebody saw it
and shamed them on it online
and it kind of went public.
See, I wouldn't think twice
if I saw someone who was,
you know, living rough.
Yeah.
In a brand new...
I wouldn't be like,
oh, yuck, that's not the brand for me.
I'd almost be like, well,
I wouldn't stop and be like, where'd you get your slim bag from?
Hey, mate, where'd you get your slim bag from?
That looks like a slim bag. What do you rate it? What do you reckon?
What do you... I've got a camping trip coming up with my mate.
Did the pack down small? Yeah.
But I wouldn't... It just wouldn't even...
Wouldn't cross my mind.
And six years ago... And if it does,
if you see somebody who's going through rough times
in a label and you're like, yuck, that label.
Oh, I almost scored.
Oh, you did.
Get over yourself.
Screw you.
Yeah, what's wrong with you?
Jesus Christ.
Pull your head in.
Someone's going through rough and you're like,
well, I didn't want that because that's what I've got.
If it was an initiative and I saw that a brand was doing their,
you know, floor stock and giving them to people that were doing it rough,
I'd be like, hell yeah, I'll get behind that.
I'd almost, yeah, exactly.
That'd become your brand of choice.
So on this Reddit thread, people that work in retail,
and bear in mind this is six years ago and practices could have changed.
Yes, people saying they work for a lot of big retailers that do this.
They smash plates, they cut cords.
Smash plates!
I mean, that would be fun.
I love smashing plates.
Are they Jewish?
Who doesn't say?
But yeah, they do this for a lot of the big retailers
if they're going to chuck stuff out.
Isn't that sad?
Not only is it like someone else could use that,
it's just going into the landfill.
I know, yeah.
There's so many layers of problem around this.
Hopefully they do better in the future.
And you'd like to know where that rubbish bin is, the moochie.
If I could just have the location.
Well, just Google the head office.
Google the head office.
Yeah.
Is that TV's Hayley Sproul in the skip?
It's a size 12.
Wait, no, wait, no.
I mean, to be fair
Have you been paying attention
It's not on until July
Dude yeah
I could do it
The dumpster dive or two
Hell yeah man
Can you get Sade
A couple of Christmas items
Absolutely
I have a little looky poo
Size 9
Size 9
No size
Size 8
Or size 7 and a half
Size 9
Oh shoe
Shoe
I thought you meant clothing I was like you've got that wrong Size 9 Size 9. Oh, shoe. Shoe. Oh, yeah. I thought you meant clothing.
I was like, you've got that wrong.
Size 9 doesn't exist.
Oh, no, no, no.
Shoe.
Yeah, shoe.
Yeah, all right.
I got it.
Is that the podcast done?
Because I'm busting for a poos.
Busting for a poos.
Jesus.
Give us a review.
